Article pretty much bang on the nail. Time the BBC trust was scrapped, so that they are scrutinised for bias in the same way other broadcasters are.

I suppose you know the BBC is, by law, required to be balanced in its programmes and that it can be taken to task if it is not.

I wish to present to the Court, Exhibit A: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b054v0v2

In the matter of bias, they are not regulated by OFCOM , complaints of bias are handled by the BBC trust, ie: themselves.

Therefore when "taken to task" if they deem themselves unbiased, then they are not , because they say they are not. The reality is, in the case of bias , they are not "taken to task" at all.

A key reason the BBc trust should be scrapped, along with the license fee of course. They should be funded by choice, not by legal threats and sending people to jail for the heinous crime of not having a "license".

BBC Brexit BIAS row: Fury over 'two THIRDS of guests on flagship shows being anti-Leave'.

One biased source accusing another source as biased.

Regardless of what you think about the BBC, this link is a bit pointless.

Blatant attempt at shooting the messenger, article quotes findings of reports by Institute of Economic Affairs, and Civitas.

Its all there on their web sites.
